The difficulty of using the symbol “and/or” in a Contract or a Statement of Claim What does Garner’s Modern English Usage say about the use of “and/or”? Bryan Garner is of the view that “a legal and business expression dating from the mid-19th century, and/or has been vilified for most of its life – and rightly so. To avoid ambiguity, don’t use it”. The take-home message. Whether you need a contract or intend to prepare a statement of claim, it is imperative that you seek professional legal advice to ensure that your interests are protected. An ill-worded contract or statement of claim can be detrimental, not to mention a vague contract or pleading can be struck out for failing to precisely lay a foundation of the proceeding.
